No comment.

I closed the comments section on my blog. It feels good. Here's why.

Zamknęłam komentarze na blogu. Dobrze mi z tym. Oto dlaczego.

I could write a long-winded post about the state of commenting in contemporary blogging communities or I could compare and contrast Polish blogs and foreign blogs (the differences are striking and the similarities surprising) and I could talk at length about different types of engagement that different type of content can create but the simplest explanation for my closing down the comments section on Robot would be: it all stems from my introvertion. In real life, I need large amounts of time reserved just for myself on a daily basis. Judging by the photos that I show on my blog, you could also say that I need a lot of human-less physical space around me --and you would be very right. And so, I've decided that I want my blog to resemble that empty space and that alone time. I want to keep to myself here. It's a very symbolic gesture because I'll still be happy and ready to talk with anyone on other platforms, but making this separation simply works for me and makes me feel lighter and more free to create whatever content I want.

I'm an introvert and while I love being around people, I also get drained by it and need to stay away to recharge. I've noticed that social media interaction is exhausting to me, even more so than interacting with people in "real world". And while I don't want to let go of it all because it can be great, I want to do it on my own terms. And this change to Robot--it just feels right.

There are plenty other places where interaction is more natural for me than on the blog. You can always catch me via e-mail or on instagram or on facebook. See you there!
